Last May I received my BS in Elementary Education with a concentration in English. I come from a family of of five; this includes my parents, my older sister Lauren and my younger brother Ryan. I grew up with honest, caring and responsible values. We always sat down to dinner every night and asked each other about our day. As a family, we'd cheer each other on at sporting events, my cheerleading games and dance recitals. About three years ago, my parents moved to California due to a job my father had filled. We try to see each other as much as possible and make the best of distance. I love to bake and cook. Trying new recipes and experimenting is always fun. I like to take hikes, walks, as well as run, swim, play can-jam, volley ball, soft-ball (I am in a summer league as we speak). I like lots of things girly. Painting nails, doing hair and shopping. But I also enjoy leggos, shooting hoops and throwing around the football. I have been a babysitter/ nanny for the past 11 years of my life. I have babysat anywhere up to five children at one time. Currently, I am nannying for a Jewish family for about a little over a year. They have two girls, ages 4. 5 & 7. They are energetic and very loving. I do many tasks for this family including and not limited to: organzing bedroom closets, cabinets, drawers, home office etc, cooking, heavy cleaning, daily laundry, baking, running errands, grocery shopping, baths, swim lessons, ballet lessons, birthday parties, gymnastics classes, bed time, pet care, decorating, managing activities and appointments. Being a part of their entire families life is very important to me. Through out the time I have been with this family, I have be familiarized with many Jewish values, beliefs and songs. I look forward to hearing from you.       Valid Driver's License: Yes  Has a Vehicle: Yes  Can Swim Well: Yes  Smoking Status: Non-Smoker  Comfortable with pets: Yes  Languages spoken: English, English    My Nationality: American  Background Check: Yes  Eligible to work in the U.S.: Yes  Civil Status: Single  Religion/Spiritual Practice: Episcopalian        Work Experience & Education Background   10 years experience, 4 references Every summer for the past 5 summers I have taken on full-time babysitting jobs. I would be with the children 5 days/week and anywhere between 6-8 hours a day. During my undergrad I had many part-time sitter jobs. Sometimes I would get children off the school bus and help them with their homework. Other times it would strictly be weekends or over nights. When I babysit children, depending on their age, I like to ask them what interests them or what they like to do first. That usual sparks some sort of interest in their favorite movie, toy, show, game etc. and they lead the way. If a child is bored or misses his/her parent(s) I normally make jokes, tell them about myself, suggest another game/toy, ask if they want to bake something or if they're hungry/tired. Of course this all depends on the age of the child.      Childcare experience within the following age groups: Newborn - 3 months, 3 - 12 months, 1 - 2 years, 2 - 5 years, 5 - 10 years, over 10 years of age, special needs children   Education/Training: Bachelor's Degree, Master's Degree, CPR Training, College Child Education Courses  I am currently working on my masters thesis.      Job Preferences   Seeking work as a : Nanny or Babysitter or Nanny/Housekeeper or Tutor  Position Type: Live-Out, Full Time  Work Hours: 30 - 40 hours/week  Position Duration:    1 - 2 years      Summer Position   Childcare Duties:    Cooking      Light Housekeeping      Running errands      Preparing meals      Transporting children      Children's Laundry      Limited/light housekeeping      Occasional supervision of childrens friends/guests      Ironing children's clothing as needed      Children's baths and dressing      Help with homework      Adhere to special dietary rules (vegetarian, kosher, lactose intolerant, etc.)      Packing Children's lunches      Planning activities for the children     Desired Start Date: July 01, 2012  Desired Salary: $15/Hour or $2400 - $2600/month  Will work with up to: Four or more  Will travel with the family: Yes  Will care  Special Needs Children: No  Housekeeping Duties:    Keep a grocery list      Initial preparation of family's dinner as directed      Keep the kitchen tidy during work hours      Feed pets during work day as directed      Walk dog and/or pet care      Plant care (indoor)      Family laundry      Family sheets/towels and other linens      Grocery shopping regularly as directed      Dust/Vacuum entire house, minumum weekly frequency      Sweep kitchen floor daily      Run/Empty dishwasher daily      Empty kitchen trash as required      Errands, including dry cleaning, as directed      Supervise contractors and tradespersons      Supervise other household staff      Event and entertainment planning and organization         References   Dr. Anthony & Shoshanna Freundel  I have know them for a little over a year.
